Huawei has launched the Huawei P Smart 2021 in the UK, Huawei’s first smartphone with a central punch-hole display design. The phone also comes with a new Kirin 710A processor and four rear cameras.
Visually, the new P Smart is similar to the Huawei P40 series, featuring a large rectangular camera array at the rear with a punch-hole camera in the top-center of the screen. That screen measures 6.67-inches from corner to corner, much larger than the P Smart 2020’s 6.2-inch display.
Although it’s substantially larger, the P Smart 2021’s screen doesn’t pack many more pixels with a 2,400 x 1,080 resolution. The device’s size also allows Huawei to slap in a 5,000mAh battery, which is 1,600mAh larger than the P Smart 2020. To keep the lights on, 22.5W charging is provided.
Internally, the Kirin 710A powers the phone alongside 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The latter can be bolstered by a microSD card.
At the rear, Huawei slapped four cameras on the P Smart 2021 headlined by a 48MP primary snapper. An 8MP ultra-wide shooter, 2MP macro camera, and 2MP depth sensor join the lineup. An 18MP selfie snapper resides in the punch hole.
Other features include a 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
